Summary

Josepha Madigan asked for an update on the Green Climate Fund Bill, linking it to international climate finance commitments. The Taoiseach said preparatory work had been under way for some time and he would provide the latest position.

The last question will be from Deputy Josepha Madigan. I will inform the Ceann Comhairle's office that Deputies Brady, Connolly, Nolan and Kenny will not have an opportunity today and ask that they be considered tomorrow.

In Copenhagen in 2009, developed countries pledged €100 billion per annum by 2020 to help developing countries deal with climate change. This was also highlighted in Paris. The green climate fund is the delivery mechanism for much of this funding. In that regard, I am inquiring about the green climate fund Bill, which gives effect, as we know, to the UN framework convention on climate change. Will the Taoiseach apprise me of the status of the Bill?
